A new generation seaplane kit, the Sea˜Star,
is now available. The Sea˜Star is being developed using the information
and experience gained from previous designs. It is the intent of the
developers to exploit the recent developments in technology to produce a
product that is state-of-the-art in terms of aircraft design, performance,
quality, materials, manufacturing methods, and fabrication techniques.
This aircraft is not a product of thirty
to fifty year old technology and primitive construction techniques but it
truly represents the state-of-the-art in all aspects. As a result no other
aircraft certified or kit even comes close in terms of quality and
performance.
Engineering and technology are dynamic.
Design and manufacturing methods have been expanding at an ever-faster
rate during the 1990's. Usually, in order for a company to be successful
in any market it is necessary to continuously improve their products and
processes through research and development. One of the first steps in the
process is to acknowledge that improvement is possible. No technical
design in history is optimum when it first comes off the drawing board or
the CAD/CAM systems these days.
